The User Interface - Elektron analog four Getting Started Manual

FIRST STEPS WITH THE ANALOG FOUR
SETTING UP THE ANALOG FOUR
Make sure you place the Analog Four on a stable support, such as a sturdy table with sufficient cable space, or mount
in a rack according to the instructions on page 16. Before you start connecting the Analog Four to other units, make
sure all units are switched off.
1 Plug the included DC adapter to a power outlet and connect the small plug to the 12 V DC connector of the Analog
Four unit.
2 Connect the main out L/R from the Analog Four to your mixer or amplifier.
3 If MIDI control of the Analog Four is desired, connect the MIDI OUT port of the device you wish send data from to
the MIDI IN port of the Analog Four. The MIDI THRU port duplicates the data arriving at the MIDI IN port, so it can
be used for chaining MIDI units together.
4 Switch on all units. Switch on the Analog Four by pressing the Power rocker switch located at the back of the unit.
Before restarting the unit, wait 2 seconds after the LCD backlight goes out.
